1969 Topps #373 Fred Lasher
About Fred Lasher
1969 Topps #373, from the fourth print series, is not Lasher's rookie card - that came the year before with Detroit - and pictured him a year removed from the Tigers' championship season, after his second straight trip north out of spring training. He posted a career-best 3.07 ERA over 44 innings and a 2-1 record in 32 games, though a slow, cautious start limited him to just one save opportunity all season, and he did not convert it.
Frederick Walter Lasher, born August 19, 1941, in Poughkeepsie, New York, was a 6-foot-3 right-handed sidearm relief pitcher who spent six major league seasons with the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians and California Angels. Signed by the original Washington Senators organization in 1960, he climbed through the Twins' farm system, where teammates nicknamed him "Whip" for his sidearm delivery, and debuted in the majors in 1963 at age 21. The Tigers acquired him from the Twins via the November 1966 minor league draft, and he returned to the big leagues in August 1967, becoming a steady bullpen arm during Detroit's 1968 championship season. His only trade sent him from Detroit to Cleveland in May 1970, and that July he made his lone major league start, an outing that ended in a bench-clearing brawl. He closed out his career in 1971 with the California Angels. Over 151 games, Lasher went 11-13 with 22 saves and a 3.88 ERA. He died February 27, 2022, at age 80.
